COUNCIL MINUTES<br />
TUESDAY 20 DECEMBER 2011<br />
Public consultation was by way <strong>of</strong> two open forums, held in July and August 2011, facilitated by<br />
the State and <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cambridge</strong>. Attendees were generally seeking clarification <strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong><br />
the assumptions made in the traffic study as well as to share particular matters <strong>of</strong> concern.<br />
Major improvements to the study report stemming from these forums include:<br />
Refinement <strong>of</strong> the proposed signalised intersection to reduce impacts on Alderbury Street<br />
resident verges<br />
Acknowledgement that current netball and football playing schedules will change over<br />
time, and how these changes need to be recognised in parking arrangements.<br />
Other major stakeholders, such as Perth Netball Association and Wembley Athletic Club<br />
participated in the public forums and their views have been taken into consideration.<br />
The State government consulted with the major parties associated with the State Netball<br />
Centre (Venues West and Netball WA) as part <strong>of</strong> this process.<br />
It is noted that whilst the community were invited to the two open forums, they have yet to have<br />
the opportunity to comment on the final report.<br />
It is proposed to seek feedback from the community on the study and provide a further report to<br />
<strong>Council</strong> as soon as possible.<br />
